Early Projections Has Property Tax Rising By 3.5%

Property taxes in Greater Sudbury will likely go up by 3.5 per cent in 2019, members of the city’s finance committee were told Tuesday.

City budget director Ed Stankiewicz told councillors the increase is needed to maintain existing services, pay some increased costs in delivery programs mandated by the province, and to pay for the city’s infrastructure. The total city budget is $581 million for 2019.
